I've been following along. There's a body. This thing is awesome. Didn't realize it was belt driven. Can't wait to see it finished.

220HP?!?!?!?
Holy crap, that thing must MooooooVE! power to weight is NASTY on that bad boi.

A slash would have more power than a 3kgt. No matter the question, Traxxas slash is always the aswner.

My old work truck, 9k ILB 6.4 diesel pulling a 17 foot 9k Ibs trailer. 450hp, 640 torque we used to beat Sebring, Hondas, and almost any gas truck. Actually had a lil fun with a 560hp Callahan silverado. Wish I could afford a new diesel. 1k ft Ibs of torque.

Question...
What's the biggest pos RC?


Just kidding. I like the Slash.

So I looked and saw this is a CrossRC kit right? Pretty cool looking chassis, but the 8x8 I saw at CrossRC is like $1900.

We have a tuned, deleted, and bulletproofed '17 F250 that's good for about 700HP and 1300ft lbs or so. It's a hoot for sure.

How long does tires last?

LOL, they're fine, you just have to get used to having that kind of torque on tap. Big toe the throttle and you're at the speed limit of 35mph around town. Anything under 50mph, you absolutely can't stomp it, or it'll light up the tires up every time. Hella fun crop dusting Priuses camping in your blind spot at 60mph though.
